Another woman’s body is for sale.

Celebrate??

If you’re opposed to the fact that this is essentially a woman selling her body, do you hold the same opposition when a gay couple uses a surrogate?[/quote]
Why would it matter who the buyer is? 
Some women will always feel forced into selling her body, due to poverty or other tragic circumstances.

What parent wants their daughter to aspire to renting out her uterus and giving up a newborn? You should talk to some birth mothers who needed to give up their babies for adoption. They’ll always be wondering how their child is doing. You never forget the baby you nurtured for nine months. That baby is part of you, even if the baby was implanted. Healthy and financially stable women will not sign up to become a surrogate, neither will your own daughter. Right?[/quote]

Uhm, not the PP but I’m a healthy and financially successful woman who would absolutely sign up to be a surrogate.  One of my (healthy, financially successful) friends has done it and said she found it a really fulfilling experience.  If my daughter wanted to, I don’t see why she shouldn’t.  Please stop speaking for all women.[/quote]

Same. I would do it but my age now makes it unlikely. I don't want any more kids of my own but pregnancy/childbirth made me feel so powerful and useful and if I could do it to help someone who really wanted to be a mom, I'd do it. And then use the proceeds to fund my own child's college education. I actually think my DH would take longer to get on board but ultimately will. But I would not feel at all coerced and if I was properly compensated (having been through it, I know what it's worth) I would do it. And same, if my daughter wanted to do it and it was really her decision, I'd support her.[/quote]
